1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Organoid technology is critical for studying human brain development, but existing single-organoid culture systems fail to simulate inter-organ interactions (e.g., optic vesicle-brain) in embryogenesis. This study aimed to establish a more comprehensive in vitro model for early neurodevelopment. We established standardized protocols for cerebral organoids and optic vesicle-containing brain organoids (OVB-organoids), and performed multiscale analyses using immunofluorescence and transcriptomics to compare the two models. Key differences in cellular composition, structure, function and development were found; OVB-organoids better simulated early retinal development, visual-related structures/functions, with specific VSX2 expression and consistent transcriptomic profiles. OVB-organoids are an improved model for early neurodevelopment, providing a reliable basis for exploring eye-brain coordinated development mechanisms and having broad applications in developmental biology, disease research and personalized healthcare.
